Why Study History?
 
"The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history, then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was. The world around it will forget even faster." -Milan Kundera, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting
"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it" - George Santayana
"People are trapped in history, and history is trapped in them". -James Baldwin

This page is dedicated to helping students find success in Mr. Murphy's class as well as preparing them for their Regents exam in June. United States History and Government focuses on American History from the discovery of the Americas to present day. It also includes an overview of American Government. The Constitution and the workings of government are key to this section. The course places emphasis on reading, group activities and research work. United States History and Government requires the student to take a New York State Regents exam at the end of the course. They must pass the exam and the course in order to qualify for a Regents diploma.

This course like its Regents counterpart focuses on the New York State standards of 11th grade Social Studies. The students are expected to pass the Regents exam at the end of the year. This two-part course provides higher level students the opportunity to obtain college credit at Hudson Valley Community College. It is an extremely challenging course requiring extensive reading. The students must take part in class discussions and group activities. They must take a final exam along with a Regents exam. HVCC SYLLABUS QUESTIONS ABOUT THE COLLEGE IN THE HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM?

This class goes from whenever to June 18th 2010!!!!! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This is my attempt to ease the transition for my ELL students who are learning US History. These students like all my students come from unique and diverse backgrounds and are just as talented and skilled as my native English speakers. I hope this will help the students gain a better understanding of American History. Finally, I am writing these study guides and summaries using Google translate. I do not claim that the information is perfectly translated. I am sure there will be some dialogue issues. If I make any glaring mistakes, please e-mail me so that I may correct them. If the sentences do not make any sense, again I apologize.

URDU- یہ میری اپنی ELL طلبا جنہوں نے امریکی تاریخ سیکھ رہے کے انفیکشن کے لئے آسانی پیدا کرنے کی کوشش ہے. میری تمام طالب علموں کی طرح یہ طلبہ منفرد اور متنوع پس منظر سے آتے ہیں اور صرف اپنے آبائی انگریزی بولنے والے کے طور پر کر رہے ہیں جیسے باصلاحیت اور ہنر مند. مجھے امید ہے کہ اس مدد کے طالب علموں کو امریکی تاریخ کا ایک بہتر طور پر سمجھنے غالب ہو جائیں گے. آخر میں، میں ان کا مطالعہ ہدایت دیتا ہے اور گوگل کے ترجمہ کا استعمال کرتے ہوئے خلاصہ لکھ رہا ہوں. میں نے یہ دعوی نہیں ہے کہ معلومات بالکل ترجمہ کیا ہے. مجھے یقین ہے کہ کوئی بات چیت کے مسائل ہوں گے. اگر میں نے کوئی واضح غلطی کرتے ہیں، ای میل براہ مہربانی مجھے اتنا ہے کہ میں نے انہیں درست کر سکتے ہیں. اگر جملے کا کوئی مطلب نہیں، میں پھر سے معذرت خواہ ہیں.

Farsi این تلاش و علاقه من به سهولت انتقال برای دانشجویان ELL من که در حال یادگیری تاریخ ایالات متحده است. این دانش آموزان مانند همه دانشجویان من از پیشینه های منحصر به فرد و متنوع گرد هم آمده و به همان اندازه با استعداد و ماهر به عنوان من مادری انگلیسی. من امیدوارم که این کمک خواهد کرد که دانش آموزان بدست آوردن درک بهتری از تاریخ آمریکا. در نهایت، من نوشتن این راهنماهای مطالعه و خلاصه با استفاده از گوگل را ترجمه کنید. من ادعا نمی کند که اطلاعات کاملا ترجمه شده است. من مطمئن هستم وجود خواهد داشت که برخی از مسائل گفت و گو. اگر من هیچ کدام از اشتباهات خودنمایی میکند، لطفا با ایمیل من به طوری که من ممکن است آنها درست باشد. اگر جملات هیچ حس را ندارد، باز هم عذرخواهی می کنم.

WELCOME TO SUMMER SCHOOL. YOU are here for various reasons. More than likely YOU don't want to be here. However, you NEED to be HERE. If YOU want SUCCESS you MUST work with ME to ACHIEVE IT!!!
